About this ebook

What if reality is the worst form of madness?

Loneliness, a failing magic business, and stacks of unpaid bills make amateur magician Adam Gray’s life one of unending drudgery and desperation. He’s trapped in the tiny town of Elliston, and excitement’s not exactly knocking down his door.

Until it does.

A cryptic peddler, peculiar merchandise, and insatiable curiosity combine to tear Adam away from the mundane safety of his everyday existence… and into the impossible world of Tantris: a land of giants, mages and the magic Adam’s hoped for his entire life. But is this a world of sanity or madness? A dream or nightmare? Adam must answer these questions, and soon.

Because Tantris has a mortal enemy—ruthless, evil and hungry for the souls of the innocent. And the Dark Mage just chose Adam as his next victim.

Ratings and reviews

I tried to finish this book but I was getting constantly bored,the characters weren't really interesting and also I felt that the author rushed his relationship;it came out of nowhere,I got somewhere in the middle but maybe it gets interesting I just couldn't convince myself to go on.

Mesmerizing, I was so sad when I finished the book but cannot wait for the rest!!

I've read it before and loved it. Original story line and characters that are well developed makes this series a must read. Lots of action, magic and even a bit of romance.

About the author

D. Bruce Cotton grew up in a small rural town in central Kentucky. A certified bibliophile, when he wasn’t digging through the local store’s latest delivery of comic books, you could usually find him camped out in a corner of the town library, avidly reading the literary masters: Isaac Asimov, Edgar Rice Burroughs and J.R.R. Tolkien. After graduating from college with a somewhat useless degree in English, he went to work for Uncle Sam, serving as a statistical clerk at a nerve gas laboratory, a public affairs specialist at a tank depot, and for 28 years as a writer and editor for PS Magazine, an Army comic book designed to teach Soldiers how to care for their equipment. Now retired, Bruce lives in Huntsville, AL, with his wife, Cindy, and Gracie, a 3-year-old standard poodle. He’s the author of four books in the epic Dark Mage fantasy series: Magician’s Heir, Magician’s Return, Magician’s Quest and Magician’s Loss.
